INTRODUCTION
Welcome!
Congratulations! You are about to embark on a very exciting program. Learning

to speak English clearly, with proper pronunciation is the single most important
skill you must have to communicate efectively in today’s world market. he
Pronunciation Workshop Video Training Program will enhance your English
speaking abilities and vocal skills, improve your self-conidence and will greatly
increase your chances for success.
his course is based on years of linguistic research and has produced dramatic
results for thousands of individuals around the globe. It is designed to help you
sound “more American” for oral presentations, interviews, teaching, business
situations, telephone conversations and general daily communication.
When a person learns English as a Second Language, they are speaking English
“iltered” through their irst language. hey are using their native language’s
“speech rules” of pronunciation (and oten grammar) on their new language…
hey are not aware of the American set of “speech rules”. his is basically what
the Pronunciation Workshop program teaches you… “he Speech Rules of
American English”.
here are many schools and classes which teach English all around the world;
however, very few of them address the “speech rules” that you will learn in this
course. his is because many of the teachers who are providing English training,
do not know of these “speech rules”. Many of them are even making errors
themselves and teaching them to you! We hear this daily from our clients.
When you were a child and learned your irst language, you constructed a mental
inventory of your native language’s speech sounds. hose sounds became a part
of your speech repertoire. Unfortunately, you are now inserting these speech
sounds into your English. Today, when you speak English, you reach into that
inventory and come out with many substitute sounds, something that is close,
but nonetheless incorrect. hese repeated errors in conversation oten cause you
to be misunderstood.
Some people call what we do “Foreign Accent Reduction”…this is not quite
accurate, for you are not reducing your foreign accent...you are actually gaining
an American Accent - - you are adding new sounds and new “speech rules” to

your speech inventory.
While you progress through this program, you will be learning things you were
never aware of before. You most likely will ind yourself saying, “Wow! I never

knew that!” Changing your old speech habits takes time. At irst you may
possibly be apprehensive using the learned techniques. However, eventually you
will relax and the words and sounds will low smoothly and clearly on their own.
Once you complete each session, it should not be your objective to start speaking
diferently right away. Your focus should be on listening to the sounds of your
speech and the speech of those around you. For example, when you say “Tank
you” instead of “hank you”, your focus should not be on saying it correctly…but
rather, “Oops – I just said that word wrong…I should have used a TH sound”. It is
this AWARENESS that will eventually lead you to the improved pronunciation
skills you are striving for.
Each video training session has its own accompanying chapter in this manual

with practice material. You will notice during the video classes that I oten speak
slowly and exaggerate certain target sounds. I do this purposely so that you
can ‘hear’ and understand what I am teaching you. I recommend that you try
practicing the material a little everyday using the learned techniques. Practice
speaking VERY SLOWLY, out loud, in a strong voice and exaggerate the mouth
movements. You will be retraining the muscles of your mouth and tongue to
move in new and diferent ways while mastering your new pronunciation
patterns. heoretically, once you understand the concepts and have retrained
yourself, eventually these new speech patterns will progress into your own
spontaneous conversational rapid speech.
To receive maximum beneits, we recommend that you take our course over a
period of two to three months, focusing on one session per week. Try to practice
daily with the videos.
he program you are about to begin was created to help people “sound American”
for the purposes of teaching, interviewing, lecturing, business and general
daily communication. Although America has many regional pronunciation
diferences, the accent you will learn is that of standard American English as
spoken and understood by the majority of educated native speakers.
Changing your old speech habits takes time. At irst, the information presented
on the videos may seem unusual, but eventually, you will see that these techniques
will transform your speech, providing you with clearer, more intelligible English
speaking abilities.
Good Luck and have fun! I hope you enjoy this program as much as I enjoy
teaching it!

This session covers:
Voicing
Consonant pairs
Consonant ‘S’

Voicing…
Is when your vocal cords are vibrating in your throat, creating a “buzzing
sound”.
Say “Ahhhh”
Can you feel the vibrations in your neck?
- all vowels are voiced
- some consonants are voiced, some are not

Three rules for S/Z endings
his is easier than it looks!
Rule #1
If a word ends in a sound that is unvoiced (such as P,T,K,F), you add an
unvoiced /S/

Examples:
1 cup,

2 cups

(the ‘p’ in cup is unvoiced, so you just add an unvoiced ‘s’)
1 cat,

2 cats

(the ‘t’ in cat is unvoiced, so just add an unvoiced ‘s’)
I break,

he breaks

I stop,

he stops

Rule #2
If a word ends in any of these sounds: ‘s,z,sh,ch,or dg (j)’
when adding an ‘S’ ending, add… IZZZZZZ
Examples:
1 Page
1 Bus
1 Lunch
I Raise,
I Brush,
I Push,

2 Pages
2 Buses

2 Lunches
He Raises
He Brushes
He Pushes

Rule #3
If a word ends in a vowel sound (like the word Tree) or a voiced consonant (like
the word Game), then when you add an ‘S’, continue the voicing throughout
the entire word, and it should become a voiced ZZZZ.
Examples:
1 Tree,
1 Day,
1 Shoe,
I Fly,
1 Game,
1 Head,
1 Train,
1 Song,

2 Treezzzz (correctly spelled Trees)
2 Days
2 Shoes
He Flies
2 Games
2 Heads
2 Trains
2 Songs

Last week, Jim’s brothers were picked to represent their country in the Olympic
Games. Two of the brothers were swimmers, while the other two were long
distance runners. All of the brothers wore glasses. hese athletes worked hard
at qualifying for the games and were hoping to come home with prizes. Since
the brothers go to the same university, they oten take the same courses. his
makes studying easier and gives them more time to do other things.

On hursday, I had a very lazy day. I woke up early and irst squeezed oranges
